We live in an awesome neighborhood with great neighbors. Our house is at the end of a cul-de-sac, and it's the hangout place of the neighborhood. There are lots of kids playing, always people outside, always something going on. This weekend, a baby shower is what's going on! Our neighbor Melissa just had a baby boy in August, and our neighbor Melanie is due with a baby girl in November. I was only too excited to be able to make the cakes for this shower. Since taking the Wilton classes, I am happy to get some real pratice, and not just make cakes for class.

I don't consider myself a very creative person, so I went searching online for some ideas. I found a super cute design in pink that I had to make, and another safari/animal cake I would do for little Jayden. Both are 6 inch cakes.

These cakes are both Duncan Hines box mixes, with buttercream icing. Megan's cake is white and Jayden's is chocolate. I think they turned out pretty good! I need to work on keeping steady hands.
